Trick or Treat Bang Bang
Not at all notable. "Trick or treat, bang bang" is a phrase that appeared in one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. The article provides no assertion that this phrase has somehow entered popular culture, been referenced outside the series, or even is considered remarkable by anyone but the individual editors.

I successfully nominated this article to be speedied a while ago under A7, no assertion of notability. I'm not a sysop, so I don't know if this is a carbon-copy recreation of the same material, but it might be, meaning that this article could be eligible to be speedied under A7 and G4. However, the tag I added yesterday was removed by User:82.40.35.24 with an edit summary of "its a very funny line. many of larry davids phrases end up in popular culture." Not very compelling, but I felt I would be being a dick for taking this to be speedied after the was removed, so I'm bringing it here. Dylan 02:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment by nominator -- I forgot to add, 41 Google hits for exact phrase (including punctuation variation). Dylan 02:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete along with Stop and Chat from the same author. Totally non-notable. Larry David's a funny guy. Doesn't mean we need an article for every sentence he utters. Fan-1967 02:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable. -- Evan  Robidoux  06:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, irrelevant... Michael 07:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment from author - not the same article "carbon copied". Both "Stop and Chat" and "Trick or Treat Bang Bang" were wikilinked to from Curb your Enthusiasm, so I decided to write them. They can be deleted if you want...--midkay 08:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment There are a lot of redlinks in a lot of articles. Very often the solution is to remove the wikilink, rather than add the article. Fan-1967 13:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Of course. I assumed that since they hadn't yet been removed, however, they'd be accepted if written. --midkay 01:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete both CYE cruft -- GWO
 * Delete non-notable neologism. Probably technically speedyible under WP:CSD (no context), as it starts "In the episode, Larry refuses to give candy..." and the only clue it's from Curb Your Enthusiasm is the categories at the bottom. -- NORTH talk 05:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the reasons noted above Alcuin 14:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
